Most of Americans want to give whole of Congress the boot: Poll
Washington, Jan 28(ANI): A new poll has revealed that if given a chance then a majority of American citizens would like to vote out every single member of the US Congress.
According to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, as many as 56 percent of Americans would like to hand pink slips to every member of the House and Senate if there was a ballot measure to do so.
This antipathy is not limited to any particular party supporters but it's bipartisan in nature with 55 percent of liberals, 55 percent of moderates and 58 percent of conservatives wanting to give a boot to the Congress.
Only 13 percent of the surveyed people approved the work of the Congress and a whopping 80 percent people have rejected its work so far, The New York Daily News reports.
These results could have dire implications for incumbents on Nov. 6.
In the Senate, 33 seats are up for grabs, 23 for the Democrats and 10 for the Republicans. Elections in the house will be held for all 435 seats. (ANI)
